Eufrozy Fire Pit Lawsuit Update: Injuries, Recall Status, and Legal Options

Attorneys are investigating burn-injury claims involving Eufrozy and other tabletop fire pits after federal safety officials linked hazardous products in the broader category to severe burns, flame jetting, spreading fires, and deaths. Eufrozy products are sold in multiple configurations, including bioethanol and ethanol-gel tabletop fireplaces with glass wind guards, decorative stones, and portable burners, making exact product and fuel identification important after an accident.

Retailer listings describe Eufrozy tabletop fireplaces as portable fire bowls that burn bioethanol or alcohol fuel. CPSC links this kind of fire pit to burns from pool fires and flame jetting. No Eufrozy lawsuit or MDL has been located, and the CPSC notices below do not name Eufrozy. The CPSC actions below concern two other brands and the whole category of liquid-burning fire pits. CPSC tells consumers to stop using liquid-burning fire pits and sellers to stop selling them. Its reports describe burns as severe as third degree.

Latest Eufrozy Fire Pit Lawsuit Updates

August 13, 2026: CPSC Announces Brookstone Fire Pit Recall

CPSC announced Recall No. 26-687 of about 48,700 Brookstone-branded tabletop fire pits [1]. Southern Telecom Inc. of Brooklyn, New York imported them, and the remedy is a refund. The notice says Southern Telecom received two reports of flame jetting and flames escaping the concrete container. Two injuries followed, including second-degree and third-degree burns. Brookstone is a different brand from Eufrozy.

July 16, 2026: CPSC Warns About Houswise Fire Pits

CPSC issued Warning No. 26-615 about Houswise Tabletop Fire Pits [2]. It cites more than two dozen reports of uncontrolled pool fires and flame jetting. Those reports resulted in seven injuries, including third-degree burns. The manufacturer has not agreed to a recall or a remedy. A warning is a regulator’s notice and is not a court ruling.

December 19, 2024: CPSC Issues Category-Wide Fire Pit Alert

CPSC issued a category-wide Consumer Alert, Warning No. 25-074, on alcohol and other liquid-burning fire pits [3]. It urges consumers to stop using and dispose of these fire pits, and sellers to stop selling them. In the alert, CPSC links these fire pits to two deaths and at least 60 injuries since 2019. It also says they violate voluntary standard ASTM F3363-19.

Who May Be Affected?

Anyone who bought or used a liquid-burning tabletop fireplace may be affected. These products need liquid fuel, such as isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol or ethanol. The fuel is poured into an open container and lit in place. Listings describe Eufrozy tabletop fireplaces as alcohol-fuel fire bowls, so they may fit this description. People burned while pouring fuel into a unit may be affected. Bystanders hit by flames or burning liquid from the unit may be affected as well. Only an individual legal review can say whether a burn may support a claim.

Reported Injuries or Damages

The reports below come from regulators and are not allegations in a court complaint. The same CPSC alert says liquid fuels burn with flame temperatures over 1,600°F and can cause third-degree burns in less than one second. MedlinePlus says a burn can cause swelling, blistering and scarring. In serious cases it can cause shock and even death, and burns can also lead to infections [4]. It names three types of burns. First-degree burns damage only the outer layer of skin. Second-degree burns also reach the layer underneath. Third-degree burns damage or destroy the deepest layer and the tissues underneath.

Recall and Regulatory Background

A recall or warning on another brand does not show liability for any Eufrozy product. Our page on tabletop fire pit recalls covers those CPSC actions in more detail. Neither the JPML pending MDL report nor CourtListener‘s federal court dockets list a tabletop fire pit MDL or a Eufrozy case [5, 6].

Evidence to Preserve

Keep these items, which may help show what product was used and how the burn happened:
  • The fireplace itself, with its burner or fuel cup, glass cover and stones, kept unused and stored safely away from fuel.
  • The bottle or can used to refill the unit, with its label still on it.
  • The packaging and any model or item number, which help identify the exact product that was used.
  • The product listing, order confirmation or receipt that shows where and when the fireplace was bought.
  • Photographs of the unit, the scene and the injuries, taken as soon as it is safe to do so.
  • Medical and burn-care records, including dates of treatment and notes from each visit.
  • Messages with the seller or the maker about the product, the order or the injury.

Filing Deadlines

Filing deadlines for a burn injury claim come from state law and depend on where the person lives and when the burn happened. Some states start the clock later, such as when the injury was discovered. Even with strong facts, a claim can end when a deadline passes without a filing. Check with a lawyer promptly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is Flame Jetting on a Tabletop Fire Pit?

Flame jetting on a tabletop fire pit can occur when someone refills the unit while any flame is present. A small flame is hard to see and can ignite the fuel as it is poured. A pool fire is a separate hazard.

What Fuel Does a Eufrozy Fire Pit Use?

A Eufrozy fire pit is listed as burning a liquid fuel in an open cup, but retailer listings disagree on which one. One listing says bioethanol fuel with a 140 ml cup and also lists Ethanol Gel. Another recommends alcohol of 70% or higher.

What Does a Eufrozy Tabletop Fireplace Include?

One retailer listing describes a Eufrozy tabletop fireplace with a stainless steel double burner and a tempered glass cover. The same listing states up to 90 minutes of burn time. These details come from that one retailer listing.

What Should I Do After a Tabletop Fire Pit Burn?

After a tabletop fire pit burn, MedlinePlus says treatment depends on the cause, depth and body area of the burn. CPSC says to report a product-related injury on its reporting website or call its hotline at 800-638-2772.

What Does the Research Say About Liquid-Fuel Tabletop Fireplace Burns?

The research on liquid-fuel tabletop fireplace burns on this page comes from the CPSC category-wide alert, a regulator warning. ASTM F3363-19, the standard the alert cites, is designed to prevent pool fires and flame jetting.

Does the CPSC Alert Cover Fire Pots and Miniature Fireplaces?

The CPSC alert covers fire pots and miniature fireplaces that burn pooled alcohol or other liquid fuel. The agency says they also go by the names tabletop fire pits, fire pots, miniature fireplaces and portable fires for indoor use.
